IIarrv ' ilson Bachman Bristol, Tenn. A.B., En., K.A. Age, 20 Assistant in Chemistry; Staff Quips AND Cranm-cs; Magncine Staff; Punctu- ality Roll, four terms. Full of slniin c oatlis. and bearded like Ihe pard Bachman may best be described as being sulfuric in temperament. Wheth er thus naturally, or by long association in the Chemical Lab., is purely a matter for conjecture. However, to say that this detracts from his general make-up would be base calumny — it is merely the effervescing overflow of his super- abnnd. ' int energy and vitality. Self- possessed, capable, tnagnetic — he is wonderfnlly attractive, and thoroughly likeable. Fkank Fisher Baker Sali.sbury, N. C. A.B, Phi. Age, 22 Full many a lady I have eyed zeilh best regard, ami many a time The hannany of their toiujiies lias into bondage Brought my too diligent ear Hen ToiTi, Dog Boot, Consound — more talk in a minnte than you can lis- ten to in a week, and nothing said. How- ever, Frank is good-looking, and we have to make allowances. He is a fixed and regular feature of the choir np in that famous institution known as the Alley. When Frank goes to preach- ing, the other yoinig preachers from the Alley won ' t have a chance among the ladies nnlil he has made his selection. The Greek class will lose one of its best I)erformers when Frank has made his di p.irlure.

Society; N ' icc- President Senior Class ; Mutjaziiic Staff ; Secretary Virginia Club. for even in error sure no danc er is When joined zcilh so inueli l iely as his Andy — tlte man who never was a Sophomore. This hiji. jovial, easy-going Virginian came to D.avidson in January, 1910, as ,-1 Freshman, and by the follow- ing September he was a full-fledged Junior. Wonderful, you say? Not at all — it ' s just Aniiv. Determined, per- severing, and patient, he usually sees to the end whatever he undertakes. He never gets angry, and always has a smile and a pleasant word for everyone. If you would see him give his broadest grin, just say Gastonia, and w-atch him. Though A. i)V is not an original ' 13 man, we all like him, and are prfiud to n.anie him as one of our number. Roi!i:iiT Soriii . kko vood Hemp, X. C. Al!., Phi. Age, J I Class Football; President l ' .lisc High School Club; Secretary Damage Com- mittee. I is Christianity is niiisiiihir Arrv is burdened down witli his responsibilities ; and why sliould he not be? Docs he not have to pose as the model of dignity for the . ' Mley? Is he not called upon to represent before the eyes of an ignorant stu lent body that worthy educational institution, the F.lisc High School? Is he not a gre;it tennis player, and the owner of Hemp ' s liand- somcst sweater? So all told, .• rrv has an important part to play on the campus, and he is playing it well. Hut he can descend from his dignity enough to play good footliall, and has caused many a lower classman a pang of fear for their laurels during the class series. He does not neglect his books, either ; and if Hemp docs not watch out she will have to entertain a sweet boy-graduate in May, whose head will be larger than the town itself

Wherein at ease for aye to durll This qiiict-looking individual bears out the reputation that looks are but skin deep. Ding is one of Davidson ' s star pitchers, and has figured in many close games. In his Soph, year he was a terror to the Fresh., but since has been a very law-abiding citizen.

I did H ' cd myself to tliiii[is of lii lit from infancy ' ' Delicate and relined in his »astes, by disposition shy. Bo vm. .n is a student 1)y nature. With a touch of genius, he seems evanescent — almost ethereal. Sympathetic, self-forgetful, there is nntliing cynical nor malignant abf)ut him. nothing rough nor unpolislied. Versed in tlie best literature, he writes well, and converses fluently wlien one has succeeded in penetrating his natural reserve. From the first he disdained the turbulent life of college dormitories, and sought the more sequestered ways of a village home as lieing more con- ducive to his scholarly meditation and scientific research — for he is nothing if not an astro-physicist. For three years in the Pliysics Department his star has shone with unrivaled splendor, while the terror of his astronomical dissec- tions is campus-wide.
